Almost everything we recognize as the body of marine pollution law and the legal regimes governing the prevention, response, liability, and compensation for marine pollution have developed over the past fifty years. Part II will address what the legal regime governing marine pollution incidents looked like in 1966, both internationally and in the United States. Part III will track the evolution of marine pollution law over the past fifty years and show how major pollution incidents have driven the developments and changes in the law. Finally, Part IV will highlight some of the issues on the forefront of marine pollution law today.
